Calcium citrate Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Supplement (calcium).

Uses

Calcium Citrate is the calcium salt of citric acid which functions as a sequestrant, buffer, and firming agent. it is a white, odorless powder which is slightly soluble in water. it is used as a firming agent for peppers and lima beans and is used to improve the baking properties of flour.

brand name

Citracal (Mission Pharmacal).

Synthesis

Calcium citrate is an intermediate in the process of industrial production of citric acid, which is separated from citric acid in fermentation works. Neutralization with calcium hydroxide during citric acid fermentation precipitates insoluble calcium citrate. It is filtered out of the liquid and cleaned to obtain pure calcium citrate.
